LIMBOsevic blasting Sen. BOXER for hitting Condi "below the ovaries"
Edited on Fri Jan-12-07 02:03 PM by UTUSN
He sez that BOXER was classless and crude, interrupting Condo when the latter started to say there was no way to compensate for the loss of military in Iraq. BOXER stopped her dead and said, "Excuse me Madame Secretary, but neither you nor I have relatives serving and risking their lives so you and I are not paying a personal price" (paraphrase).

So LIMBOsevic nips on BOXER's ankles. Yet, just yesterday LIMBOsevic went on a full hour TEAR, spewing pure bile and hatred, over somebody having said that Americans are "war weary." His point was that ONLY the military families have been paying any kind of price in lives lost and risked, that all of the rest of us are in the lap of luxury and have not even paid higher taxes, so that NONE of us have the right to call ourselves "war weary".

Sounds to me like what Senator BOXER was saying to Condo. But then, it was another one of LIMBOsevic's meaningless catch phrases. Where, exactly, is "below the ovaries? Would that be on the upper thigh, or the knees, or the shins, ankles, toes?

Every time he uses the jumble, "with half my brain tied behind my back," he is insulting his dittoheads, actually saying that he can run rings around them.

1. He's learned to speak through his anal cyst.
Edited on Fri Jan-12-07 02:04 PM by Lastlaughin08
I don't know where his ovaries are, though. Probably tied up with the half of his brain that's still semi-functional.

25. He keeps that anal cyst well-polished, pampered, and ready for action
just in case it ever comes in handy again with a draft board somewhere sometime in the future.

2. This is their "Kerry hates the troops" cry ...
or so they hope. The Murdoch tools New York Post and the Fox "News" Channel are echoing this as well.

3. What did Pigboy say about Hagel????
Nothing, I bet. Hagel just ripped into that lying piece of crap and ended up calling her a liar. Boxer was playing tiddleywinks, relatively speaking.

4. Wingnuts are making a big deal out of this
We should strongly defend Sen. Boxer's remarks. If anybody owes anybody an apology, it is Rice and the rest of the Bushies whose stupidity and incompetence have cost thousands of lives and has left our nation's credibility in tatters all around the world. The whole gang ought to be impeached, removed from office and then tried for war crimes.

5. They have so little to work with these days.
The majority of the nation is against the war. They are FUCKED and they know it.

6. Leave it to old Limpballs
to trash a WOMAN, a species about which he knows nothing. The expression that he is twisting is "below the belt" a euphemism for hitting men in their private parts, an action that is incapacitating. Women have no such vulnerability. Go ahead and hit us below the ovaries--it doesn't phase us at all! Faux-men like you have met your match!

7. She was classless, and disgusting

If I and my wife were to speak with her regarding the war, she is going to point out that she is a mother and a grandmother and then ask us if we have any children so she can determine if we are "going to pay a particular price." I'd pay money to see her after she says that to my wife.

16. You have misheard what Boxer said to Condi
She said that she didn't have anyone who would "pay the price of this war" in her immediate family and said that Condi didn't have anyone who would pay the price of the war in her "immediate family" (her exact words). While she did say her children were too old and her grandchild is too young, she didn't refer to a lack of childbearing on Condi's part. She referred only to "immediate family." Now that is either true or not true. If it were not true, Condi could have said "You are mistaken, Senator. My (sister, brother, niece, nephew)is serving in Iraq." And that would have been the end of it. But she didn't.

Boxer's remark was about the classist nature of the war and she put herself in the same boat as Condi. This thing has been blown up by the RWers. Please feel free to check for yourself, but I heard it 3 times today and that is what she said.

18. When someone points out "see I HAVE children, I HAVE a grandchild"
and then tells someone "as I understand it, you have no particular price to pay." We who are child free know what a classless and despicable thing that is to say.

She said nothing about her children not being in the war because she is a senator or a member of any socioeconomic class, she said they were not subject to it because of their age, but made sure to point out that she had them.

20. Well, that is your interpretation and you are free to adopt it, however, I
was quoting what she actually said. Again, she said that in her immediate family, which for her is her children and grandchildren, no one was paying the price for the war. That is a true statement, is it not? And again, if Boxer was wrong about Condi not have "immediate family" in similar circumstances, I assume that Condi would correct her.

These are facts. If you wish to read this rather distorted view of what Boxer says because it suits you to do so, then you are welcome to your own opinion. As a liberal Democrat, without knowing anything more about Boxer's feelings on whether or not someone has children, I will take Boxer at her word. And as a liberal Democrat I prefer to believe a liberal Democratic Senator since I have absolutely no proof whatsoever to the contrary.

22. Look at what she actually said, she said nothing about class
she mentioned her children and grandchild, NOT nephews, or nieces or brothers or sisters, she only mentioned her children and grandchild. If you want to believe that she stated that and mentioned nothing about them being the child of a senator, only their ages, and wasn't trying to point out someone's being child free, then go ahead. But everyone who is child free, has heard people lecture like this, and that is how it always starts out, with "I have children," or "I have x number of children." Then something like "you can not understand," or "you really shouldn't have any say," or in this case, "you, as I understand, have no particular price to pay." It is a low point in Senator Boxer's career, and a cheap cheap shot.

27. Well, if I had heard someone say what you have quoted some people
as saying, I would of course agree with you wholeheartedly. People should not say those things to people without children. They are cheap shots I agree.

But you are equating what Boxer actually said with what you have heard other people say. My point is that neither you nor I know what Boxer's view is in this regard. She said what she said and none of it jibed with the quotes from clearly prejudiced people that you post. And again, you are free to read into it what you will. Without actual proof, I won't do that. I do know how Boxer votes on issues that matter to me as a feminist and that is how I make my determination.

I cannot agree that simply because Boxer defines her children and grandchild as "immediate family" that her remark to Rice was suspect. She is simply stating the fact as she sees it in her own life. For her, children and a grandchild is more immediate than a niece or nephew, but I know childless people for whom a niece or nephew is very much their immediate family. Both Boxer and Rice are of such an age that we would safely assume they wouldn't have siblings of an age to be sent to war.

I do believe that her point was very much that she and Rice, being in the positions they are in and with the circumstances of their positions, are not the people and families that are paying the price for this war. This is not exactly a big secret. A minuscule number of our lawmakers and people in this administration have immediate family members in the war. In past wars, this was different. Lawmakers and presidents and relatives of past presidents went to war and some died in those wars. Not as many perhaps as those in lower economic groups, but at least many of them did.

21. SHE DIDNT MENTION CHILDREN
Edited on Fri Jan-12-07 04:21 PM by LSK
She said immediately family. As in brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, moms, dads or children.


I WISH DUERS WOULD FUCKING WATCH THE ACTUAL CLIP INSTEAD OF FALLING FOR THE RIGHTS MISLEADING MISQUOTES.

8. Maybe if she had spent more time on her back, trying that reproducing thing, she
wouldn't have developed such a philosophy that prefers war over making love.

12. Limp Pole is just echochambering Faux Snooze reporting...
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,243359,00.html

Barb's barb:
"Who pays the price? I'm not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old and my grandchild is too young," Boxer said. "You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family. So who pays the price? The American military and their families."

Perhaps Condi could have ANSWERED THE FUCKING QUESTION!

19. That was the daily repuke talking point spit out to each of the
right-wing gasbags. Laura Ingraham was bloviating on this same thing this A.M. and how it was a personal attack towards Rice because she had no children.

Pfffft.

I'm sure Barbara Boxer is hiding behind her desk, terrified of the wrath of the fearsome Limplard McOxybald.

Oxycotin Limbaugh defines "crude and classless".

I don't know how anyone can listen to him for more than 30 seconds.
